Buy a pint of the original color from an auto paint store, but it's hard getting a non-base coat/clear coat formulation. Dip out just as much as you need to put into a small glass bottle and re-cap the can carefully to hold against the day you need to have real body work done. Keep the small bottle around for scratches and stone chips etc.
I'm a fan of local brush or foam brush touchups of just the scratch or rusted area, trusting a good color match to keep people's eyes from noticing the flaw.
If it's a whole small panel or panel area, our local NAPA, which is sort of an area distributor, sells auto paints and will make a custom spray can to match any color you can give them a number for. But I wouldn't go spraying that over a large area cause you'll never match the original gloss and surface and could seriously screw up the appearance of otherwise perfect sections of the body.
